Subject: Who else loves the groups "Berlin" & "Mssing Persons"
Written By: EightiesGirl79 on 06/11/08 at 12:42 pm
Berlin is just awesome! Always loved Terri Nunn's voice. I love their "pleasure victim" cd! Such cool 80's songs!
I also love Missing Persons..Dale(the lead singer) was always so quirky style-wise. I have most of their stuff on LP...as it's kinda hard to find their stuff on cd these days.
It would be cool to hear from other fans. :) 8)

Berlin and Missing Persons were both pretty sweet. With Berlin I love "No More Words" and " The Metro." Missing Persons had "What Are Words For?" excellent track in my view.
" Do You Hear Me? Do You Care?" ;)

I think the actual name of that song is "Words." ;) They had some other great songs, including "Walking In LA", "Destination Unknown" and "Mental Hopscotch". As for Berlin, I like a lot of their songs too. 8)

Missing Persons is awesome. I love anything Zappa-related, and both Dale and Terry Bozzio have worked with Frank, as well as MP's bassist and guitarist (Patrick O'Hearn and Warren Cuccurullo, respectively). Terry, in particular, is an incredible drummer. Just check out his kit:

And yes, they aren't just for show. He plays every one of those drums, and they're all tuned to different voicings.
Mental Hopscotch is my favorite song by MP, but they have many great ones.

Incidentally, Terri Nunn (aka Berlin) is still touring in the Southwest. By all accounts, the live shows are as good today as they were 20 years ago.

I love them both. Missing Persons had a few hits, but never cracked the Top 40 in the US or Canada. I know 'Words' was quite popular
I love 'Sex (I'm A...)' by Berlin. Though it never made the US Top 40, it was a massive hit in Canada peaking at #4. For some reason, all the R-Rated controversial songs that never became big hits in the US were all in the Canadian Top 40. What can I say .. us Canucks are a bunch of sickos :D

I was never a big Missing Persons fan. I did like their hits Words & Destination Unknown. Berlin, on the other hand, is still one of my all time groups. Forget the more known songs, some of the album cuts and UK hits were so much better....Like Flames, Will I Ever Understand You, Sex Me Talk Me, You Don't Know and When Love Goes To War are prolly my favs.
